Canvas Groups with Summer Checklists and Career Pre-Work
The University of Maryland's learning management system is ELMS-Canvas, usually referred to as just “Canvas.” Through your university email, you have been invited to join two Canvas groups that contain important information for this summer, including interactive checklists of important deadlines and tasks to complete:
- Masters Programs Office (MPO) Cohort Group: This group contains all students in your degree cohort and myself. The checklist/calendar contains required tasks, deadlines, events, links and contact information to guide you.
- Office of Career Services “Be Fearless Career Campaign” Group: This group contains all Business Master’s students and members of the Office of Career Services team. Career events for this 10-week summer onboarding experience will begin as early as mid-June and details will be posted in this group. The opening event will be a one-hour virtual synchronous workshop the week of June 13. The opening workshop will be an engaging, camera-on, interactive experience between you, your peers, your career coaches, and surprise guests. Please complete as many of the pre-onboarding modules as possible within the next 2 weeks.
I can be reached at kimgonz@umd.edu. I look forward to working with you. Look for my email next Wednesday with additional information!
Sincerely,
Kim Gonzalez (she/her)
